COI Management Processes are Different in Every Organization

COI-SMART conforms to your institution’s management process and provides you with the necessary framework to manage conflicts of interest in the manner that best fits your organization. It can be used for an annual COI survey process as well as for transactional, or “elective” questionnaires. COI-SMART also can be linked to a Research Management portal and can provide output, if desired, for a public disclosure website.

Connects to CMS Open Payments Database

Direct connectivity to the CMS “Open Payments”” database of industry payments to physicians allows reviewers to quickly and easily look up public data and compare it to physician self-disclosures in COI-SMART. It also serves as a reminder to physicians making disclosures that this information is publically available and should be reviewed before disclosing in COI-SMART.
